Lets go Beavers.....

ASU-OSU is ugly. Quickly changed the channel to Stanford-Washington St. Stanford is cruising 22-7 after 1Q. Looks like June Daugherty is not on the sideline for the Cougs.

ASU is leading 12-10 after 1Q.

Lets go Beavers.....

I think Sun Devils are tougher than Blue Devils

 

[nwhoopfan]

In the nightcap I get to choose between Washington @ Cal and Arizona @ Oregon.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford crushing Wazzu 45-17 at halftime. Cougs can't shoot and Stanford looks really good.

Alanna Smith and Kiana Williams have each scored 12 points. Kaylee Johnson has 11 rebounds. I don't think of Brit McPhee as a much of a playmaker but she has 4 assists and has had some beautiful dishes for easy buckets for teammates.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon St. nails a 3 just before halftime to narrow the gap to 31-29.

 

[nwhoopfan]

USC is crushing Colorado, has them nearly doubled up w/ 5 minutes left in the game.

Has Stanford turned the corner??

I saw that too, but don't have any info.

I did hear that Wazzu head coach June Daugherty stayed home from this road trip for a minor medical procedure. Her husband/assistant coach Mike Daugherty is taking over for a few games. He's probably wishing he stayed home too. Cougs are playing a bit better but still down 56-28.

Has Stanford turned the corner??

Beating up on Wazzu doesn't necessarily mean much, but yeah Stanford has looked fairly good since conference play started.

Perhaps:

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU up 46-45 after 3Q.

 

[Plebe]

Ekmark hits a couple 3s in 3Q to keep ASU slightly in front, up by 1 after 3Q.

But OSU's zone has otherwise slowed ASU's offense to a trickle.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Sloppy 2nd half for Stanford. Too many TO's, poor shooting, have only scored 19 points since halftime, well into the 4th quarter. Still leading 64-44.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA @ Utah early in the 2nd quarter, Bruins leading 25-23. Utes aren't pushovers this year.

Perhaps:

THAT’S AWESOME! You put a huge smile on my face with this!

 

[nwhoopfan]

ASU-OSU going down to the wire. Beavers up 1 inside a minute left, ASU shooting FTs.

 

[nwhoopfan]

56-54 OSU, 35 seconds left, ASU w/ possession.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford 70-57 final. Tara is not gonna be happy w/ their performance in the 2nd half.

 

[BostonCanuck]

Close, exciting game, but the quality of play seems pretty marginal, does it not?

 

[nwhoopfan]

57-54 OSU w/ 16 seconds left, ASU ball.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I've mostly been watching the Stanford game. OSU makes me nervous. Too many TO's again. Looks like they haven't gotten much scoring outside of Gulic.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Ekmark w/ a desperation heave, partially blocked by Pivec. OSU wins. They needed this one badly.
